Client retains sole and exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its website, content, and digital properties comply with all applicable accessibility laws, regulations, and standards. Company shall have no responsibility or liability for any claims, demands, or damages arising out of or relating to accessibility or ADA compliance.
2.9 SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS AND SYSTEM LIMITATIONS. The performance of the Services and the operation, availability, and functionality of any Client website are dependent upon numerous systems, networks, and conditions that are outside the control of Company.

8.2 NOTICE OF DISPUTE. If any controversy, allegation, claim, or dispute of any kind arises out of or relates to the Services, these Terms, any Additional Agreement, or the relationship between you and Company, whether arising in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including negligence, fraud, or any intentional tort), common law, or any other legal or equitable theory, whether arising before or after the effective date of these Terms (collectively, a “Dispute”), except for Excluded Disputes (as defined below), then the Party asserting such Dispute shall first provide written notice to the other Party.
Such notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the nature of the Dispute, the factual basis for the claim, and a proposed resolution.

For a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice, the Parties agree to engage in good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. Nothing in this Section shall require either Party to resolve the Dispute on terms that are not acceptable to that Party in its sole discretion. Failure to engage in this informal resolution process shall not invalidate or waive the obligation to arbitrate.
For purposes of this Article, “Excluded Disputes” means any claim, controversy, or cause of action arising out of or relating to: (i) Company’s intellectual property rights, including infringement, misappropriation, or unauthorized use thereof;

8.4 GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION FRAMEWORK. The FAA, and not any state arbitration law, shall govern the arbitrability of all Disputes arising under or relating to this Article.
Subject to the foregoing, the substantive law governing any Dispute shall be as set forth in Article 12 of these Terms, without regard to conflict of law principles.
8.5 ARBITRATION PROCEDURE AND ADMINISTRATION. Any Dispute shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”), except as modified by these Terms. If AAA is unwilling or unable to administer the arbitration, the Parties may mutually agree upon an alternative arbitration provider, including Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”). If the Parties cannot agree, Company may designate a commercially reasonable alternative arbitration provider. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the applicable Rules. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the arbitration shall take place in Clark County, Nevada. To the extent permitted by the applicable Rules, the arbitration may be conducted remotely, via written submissions, or by teleconference.
The arbitrator shall: (a) apply the terms of this Agreement strictly as written; (b) apply applicable law consistent with Article 12; (c) have no authority to modify, expand, or disregard any provision of these Terms; (d) limit any award to the individual claims of the Parties; and (e) issue a reasoned written decision based solely on the record presented.

For purposes of this Section, the “prevailing Party” shall be the Party that substantially prevails on the primary claims or defenses in the Dispute, as determined by the arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction.
8.7 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. Except as expressly provided in Section 8.8 (Class Action Waiver), the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any and all disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any portion of this Article is void, voidable, or otherwise unenforceable. This delegation provision shall be severable and shall survive termination of these Terms.
8.8 NO CLASS ACTION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU AND COMPANY FURTHER AGREE THAT:(a) NO DISPUTE SHALL BE BROUGHT OR MAINTAINED AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION; (b) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING; (c) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CERTIFY A CLASS OR AWARD RELIEF ON BEHALF OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY OTHER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY; AND (d) ANY RELIEF SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS OF THE PARTY SEEKING RELIEF.

8.11 JURISDICTION FOR NON-ARBITRABLE MATTERS. Except where arbitration is required or for enforcement of any arbitration award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada. You and Company hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
8.12 SMALL CLAIMS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, provided that such claim remains in that forum and is not removed or appealed.
